26 Aug, 2015

The cover of BULLETPROOF CORALS, our feature for the September / October 2015 issue of CORAL Magazine. We look at the corals with proven track records and selected reader wisdom for the aquarist starting out with small polyp stony (SPS) corals.

You may have glimpsed a copy of CORAL at your local aquarium retailer, or tucked among the offerings at Barnes & Noble, still wrapped in its protective poly sleeve, and wondered what mysteries are hidden inside. This is our latest sneak peek underneath the wrapper at what’s in store for the newest printed issue of CORAL Magazine.

Without further delay, take a look inside our September / October 2015 issue of CORAL Magazine.

The Table of Contents for the September/October 2015 issue of CORAL Magazine.

“Many readers of this magazine take great pleasure in finding and keeping the most challenging species, but let us recognize the importance of the species that are, through thick and thin, in the wild or in our aquariums, the surest survivors.” – Remarks from the Editor’s Page, by James Lawrence.

This issue’s reef news looks at stony corals evolving defenses towards warming oceans, plankton and their contribution to “biomixing,” and what’s so special about limpet teeth?

Rarities is as full of temptations as ever, featuring ‘One-in-a-Million” Clownfish from Sea & Reef Aquaculture, and Maricultured Stony Corals from Quality Marine.

Our Cover Articles lead off with “Bulletproof Stony Corals” by Than Thein.
